LETTER TO THE EDITOR | Redefined marriage? Why stop there?

Since our state legislators are finally getting around to redefining terms that have been misused for so many years I would like to suggest that they consider addressing another situation of ongoing injustice — the objectification of nouns.

Having been a noun all my life — and a proper one at that — I have been forced to stand by idly while verbs see all the action, all the while being subjected to their whims. This gross unfairness could easily be corrected by simply redefining the term "verb" to include what have — until now — been known as "nouns."

The time seems right to deal with this situation since our lawmakers have found the courage to use the coercive power of the state to enforce on the ignorant populace the redefinition of the word, "marriage."
